Our family's Friday night takeout routine has been a struggle—great pizza often means disappointing cheesesteaks, or the other way around. Hoping for a win, we tried Gentile’s for the first time. I called to ask about their gluten-free pizza, but they don’t make it in-house, and I suspected it might be that salty Sysco rice thing, so I skipped it. Their online ordering was a breeze, with a pizza tracker and easy payment, letting me just pick up and go. Parking was a hassle—only one spot open—but a packed lot at 6:30 PM on a Friday suggested good food, so I stayed hopeful. Inside, it was crowded with people waiting for pickups, and the kitchen was running behind. The guy at the counter, clearly in tune with his customers, started handing out half slices to the hangry crowd—a move I’d love to see every pizza shop adopt. It turned the mood around. When my order was ready, it was a total hit: the pizza was fantastic (confirmed by my free slice), and the cheesesteaks and fries were just as good. Gentile’s is now in our top three local spots.
